| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central cruciform arrangement of four crowned shields bearing the arms of England (twice), Scotland, and Ireland, with the national floral emblems — rose, thistle, shamrock, and leek — filling the angles between the shields. The whole design is encircled by the Garter bearing the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, surmounted by an imperial crown at the top. The divided date appears below the shields within the Garter, and the outer legend ONE FLORIN TWO SHILLINGS runs around the periphery. The design was executed by Edward Poynter. |

The "Jubilee head" florin of 1887 had drawn such sustained ridicule — critics compared the crown on Victoria's effigy to an inverted coal scuttle — that the Royal Mint commissioned Thomas Brock to produce a more dignified portrait. His "Old Head" or "Veiled Head" design, introduced across the silver series in 1893, was the result. The florin carried this portrait through the remainder of Victoria's reign, with the final pieces struck just months before her death in January 1901.
The 1893 issue also saw the reverse redesigned, abandoning the Gothic cross arrangement that had defined the florin since 1851.
